INEC’s recognition of PDP Caretaker C’ttee gives credibility to coming convention – Spokesperson

The Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) Caretaker Committee has described the recognition of its leaders by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as a strategic step towards holding a credible national convention in March. The faction loyal to the minister of the Federal Capital Territory FCT, Nyesom Wike lauded INEC for the recognition of it’s leadership.

The party in a statement on Friday by its National Publicity Secretary, Hon. Jungudo Haruna Mohammed said INEC’s action represents a decisive and commendable intervention toward restoring stability, order, and constitutional governance within the party. “This recognition comes at a critical moment in the life of the PDP, particularly as preparations gradually begin for the party’s National Convention and the strategic task of positioning the party to effectively field credible candidates for the 2027 general elections.

“By affirming a lawful leadership structure following the Federal High Court Judgement, INEC has helped to remove uncertainties capable of undermining the party’s organizational processes and electoral readiness. “The National Caretaker Working Committee commends the Commission for its steadfast commitment to due process and the rule of law. Such institutional courage strengthens Nigeria’s democracy and reassures party members and supporters that legality, not arbitrariness, remains the guiding principle in electoral matters.

“This development should serve as a rallying point for all loyal party faithful. The time has come to set aside differences, embrace reconciliation, and channel our collective energy towards strengthening the PDP ahead of 2027 Elections. Nigerians look to our party for responsible leadership and a credible alternative, and we must not allow internal disputes to distract us from this historic responsibility,” he said.
